    hey guys I just bought a wrist ball recently and i think its quite good. However, it only trains the wrist extensors and i guess the supinator and pronator too? But if i compare it with doing reverse dumbbell curls, which is more beneficial?:rolleyes: Anyone knows?

    What is a wrist ball? Hmm, maybe similar to power ball, or gyro exerciser?

    similar to powerball.

    i guess both train diff aspect of the muscle.
    one is rotation (include pro sup clockwise ,abticlockwise) , the other is one way (pronate and supinate).
    barbell curl can increase more resistance in a shorter time in my point of view.

    Just use a dumbell and do wrist curls like 10reps 5set using a weight that requires like 90%-95% effort to lift

    if thats the case I have to use at least a 8-10kg dumbell and my wrist will hurt..it seems like the max weight i can do is around 6kg in order for my wrist to not feel pain but i can do it around 80+ reps..is there anything wrong?
